The Rock in G.I. Joe sequel?

Deadline.com is reporting that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is in
negotiations to join the movie G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes to play the role of
Roadblock. The Rock’s Hollywood stock increased following his solid role in
the movie Fast Five and Universal Pictures already want him in the sixth
installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise. Paramount – who holds the
rights of the G.I. Joe movies – hopes that The Rock will boost the second
Joe movie like he did for Fast Five.
